La Combe; a tiny hamlet above the village of Rotalier is home to the larger-than-life “Fan Fan” Jean-François Ganevat. Jean-François came back to run the family estate in 1998 after ten years working Burgundy and he combines his passion for the Jura terroir – here ideal for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – with a staunch defence of Burgundian techniques; low yields and most recently biodynamic methods for which he has now gained Demeter certification.

These wines are truly brilliant and have clarity and intensity as cornerstones – his Chardonnays are quite unbelievable in their intensity and vigour. His red wines from Pinot Noir, Trousseau and Poulsard are delicate, graceful and incredibly pure tasting with lovely harmony and dimension.
